Grabbing the Muse in New Mexico

I was thrilled when Julie Ford Oliver sent me this fabulous photo of herself with my book - which she is half-way through reading. She has the Organ Mountains, New Mexico behind her in the background. What a stunning landscape - it reminds me very much of Australia's beautiful red centre! It's so exciting for me to see my book finding its way to different parts of the world. Thanks Julie!

Julie is an amazing artist who is an ongoing inspiration to me. Her artwork is very original and dynamic and she makes even the trickiest subjects look easy. She is very supportive and generous to other artists and shares many insights into her artistic life on her blog - which you can visit here, and you can visit her website by clicking here.

Ah Wendy - it is so good to see that other artists are enjoying your book. Julie is a super artist and I love her art. So nice to you shared this photo of her with your wonderful book. Hope you have a super week. Hugs!

Thanks so much everyone for all the lovely comments. Sorry for the tardy response and for not responding individually. Plans are afoot for an exciting adventure which I will post about very soon - maybe this very day!xxx

Hi Wendy - it was lovely to see this post and read all the great comments. Don't we share the nicest blogging friends?I have finished the book and really got so much out of it. You are quite a special and inspirational person. Lucky to know you.

About Me

Welcome to my blog!
This blog originally began as a vehicle to show the progress I was making with my weekly acrylic paintings. I am also a writer and find it a challenge trying to attend equally to the passion I feel for both art and words. In the process, this blog has since broadened to include all things creative and joyful in my life.
